ALCORN, Joseph - Joseph Alcorn died on Monday at the old American House in this city after a short sickness. He had been here about three weeks. He was a member of the G.A.R. and was 78 years of age. Although he died among comparative strangers, he had the best of medical care and attendance, being looked after by the local G.A.R. societies. The funeral was also under G.A.R. auspices. It was held on Tuesday and the services were conducted by Rev. Swan of the M.E. church. An interesting feature of the funeral was the fact that the six pall bearers were chosen from among the young soldier boys who are home on furloughs. The deceased has a son in Ohio who was notified by telegram of the death. He replied that it would be impossible for him to come to Rogers but that he would pay all the funeral expenses. A daughter who resides at Willard, Kansas was also notified. A letter received here yesterday morning from the latter states that she got as far as Kansas City but was unable to make connections and returned home.
